Blizzak LM-60, LM-32 and Michelin X-Ice Xi3s?
 
So I tried to ordered the sizes of LM-60s that I have been using on my NISMO for the last 4 winters and it appears that they do not carry those anymore. They do however make LM-32s in the OEM sizes!

I wanted to know if anyone has used the LM-32s or perhaps the Michelin X-Ice Xi3s? From what I have read the LM-32s do very well in the winter conditions, but suffer in more moderate conditions. The X-Ice work better in moderate condtions which gives a little performance up when it comes to the nasty stuff.

Thanks in advance for any replies!

Just in case someone is looking for information on the LM-32s:

Since the LM-32s had a closer to OEM size I went with those. After a couple of hairy Colorado snow days I will have to say that they are better than the LM-60s on the warmer, dry stuff, but are AS GOOD if not better than the LM-60s.

For those of you that aren't familiar with Blizzaks or LM-60s that translates to a lot of control in the snow and ice.

I am using the lm32 and they work great in Chicago snows this week. A tube or two of sand over the rear axle and no problems. I used the older ones as well. Because these are wider, they do snow plane a bit. This is why you need the sand weight

We have had two episodes of freezing drizzle that turned the streets into literal sheets of ice.

No problem. In fact I had to drive past a couple of Jeeps that were having a lot of problems.
